Persistence

One time somebody commented on my persistence.  It can get me in trouble sometimes.  I can b grt pretty annoying.  I mean really annoying.  I really want the job with the Department of Public Safety.  I cannot reach anyone.  I have a number to reach someone but I cannot call that person anymore.  I want to get the job because I am good at what I do.  Patience is not my forte. I know God has a plan for me.  I don't know what that plan is I just have to hope I am ready for it when it comes.

Determination

Hello everyone.

I am waiting for the job I have always wanted.  A job with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Council.  It is where I have wanted to work since I first heard of the organization.  I spoke to them about some reports I ran for them.  I wanted to work for an organization that helps children.  I always wanted to work for an organization.  that assists juveniles in getting a second chance.   In a court of law they are considered juveniles.  Even if they are seen as adults because they are seen as people who should be in college.  They should be but they lost their way.  College may be something that they aspire to do.  They may beleive college is not for them.  Choices are made.  At the time they think it is the right choice.  Then something happens and the choice they make does not pan-out.  I have been there.  I am there now. 

I made choices and they did not work out.  It makes me fearful to make any other choices.  I know it is just the way it is right now.  I am determined to not let it get me down.  At least not too far down.  I am allowed to have a day or two of depression.  I am only human.  Even Jesus had his moments of self-pity.  I am not better than Jesus.  I hope I get the job.  I hope I can use my natural talents to help juveniles.  I must be doing something right because God keeps blessing me.  I pray he continues to bless me

The Storm (Persistence)

Gather around. I have a story to tell you. Now hush and take a deep breath.

Long ago there was a man and a woman. Their hands were intertwined. They gazed into each other’s eyes. They gazed so deeply into each other’s eyes for so long that they did not notice the giant raindrop. He ripped his eyes away from her eyes with a sigh. As he turned his eyes away from her he looked up. The rain came down in sheets. It soaked them both.

She began to run. They searched for somewhere to hide from the rain. No matter where they looked they could not find anywhere to go. They did not give up even when the thunder and lightning started. She was so scared. She huddled closer to him. He tried to protect her.

He could not protect her from the downpour.

They were both tired and wet. They were about to give up. They kept looking around for protection.

They were about to give up. Then they noticed a man walking towards them. The man was carrying an open umbrella. He waved for the couple to come under the umbrella. The couple looked at each other and ran under the umbrella.

As soon as they got under the umbrella. The sun came out. They were immediately dry.

The man asked if they were alright.

The woman began to cry. Through her tears she said, “I almost gave up on you. We searched for you. Where were you?!

"I was right here. Be honest. You did not think I would leave you or else you would have stopped searching. You are persistent That is what I like about you."

They smiled at each other. She looked at her boyfriend and smiled as she realized everything was going to be O.K.

Is this the end?

I told you all once before that my dream job is working with the JCPC.  It stands for the Juvenile Court Prevention Council.  I do not know if I would receive the honor of working with the council.  I am a strong believer that everyone deserves a second chance.  They deserve it because we all make mistakes.  I made quite a few in my day.   Nothing that led to my arrest.  Thank the Lord.  I guess I was too afraid of disappointing my family.  Part of me is afraid to hope for such an opportunity.  When I hope for things they do not I love kids and I hate to see when people give up on kids.  Sometimes you want to knock some sense into them.  You should never give up on kids.  They meet the expectations you set for them. 

I would love to be apart of an organization that gives juveniles the second chance they need.    

I have a feeling that the end is near.  I enjoyed my time of rest.  I learned a lot about my kids and my husband.  I learned a lot about MS. 

What did I learn you ask. 

I learned that my kids are big enough for responsibility and will come to my aid when I need them.  I learned that my husband only wants what is best for me.  It is annoying sometimes because what I want does not go with what he sees as what is best for me  sometimes.  I learned that my MS is manageable.  I have more good days than bad.  I do not know if the end is near.  It is just a feeling.
